Activision lays off 40 members of Deadpool: The Game team

Activision has announced that it has let go 40 members of the team developing Deadpool: The Game.

In a statement, the publisher said, "Activision Publishing consistently works to align its costs with its revenues--this is an ongoing process. With the completion of development on Deadpool, we are taking a reduction in staff at High Moon Studios to better align our development talent against our slate. Approximately, 40 full-time employees will be impacted globally. We are offering those employees who are impacted outplacement counseling services."

This seems to indicate that Deadpool: The Game is near gold master status, since Activision laid off the contractors for the game.
